Today on the CBS Early Show, Bret Michaelsshot down a report from Star suggesting that he had finally popped the question to longtime on again/off again girlfriend Kristi Lynn Gibson over the July 4th weekend. However, Bret does admit that he gave her a ring, which he labels in the video above as both a “promise ring” and a “a friendship ring with benefits.” Exactly what that means is anyone’s guess, but hopefully we’ll get to see what he’s talking about when Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It returns in the fall.
